My university has Google Sites that are in its own domain (Google Apps for Education). At the bottom of a regular Google Sites page there is usually the following set of links:

Sign in|Report Abuse|Print Page|Remove Access|Powered By Google Sites

However, with the Education version of Google Sites, there is no Sign in link:

Report Abuse|Print Page|Remove Access|Powered By Google Sites

Does anyone know why this is different and/or how to achieve a quick sign-in? The work-around is to sign in to my Google Apps for Education Gmail (which my school doesn't use yet) and then navigate back to the page.

The word "admin" is vague here... there's a site owner and then there's the "admin" for the entire domain. In fact, I found out that as the site owner I can modify the system footer. I think that is what you meant in this answer? I think the site configuration overrides the domain configuration.
